2.0 Prototype Tests
2.1 Test Unit
The test unit used for this Prototype Testing was a Composite Suspension insulator design representing
the entire class of Silicone Composite Suspension Insulators from 69kV to 230kV. As per the
requirement of Clause 7.1.1 of ANSI C29.11-1989, the composite insulator samples used for this
Prototype Testing had a metal-to-metal spacing of at least 800mm in length. The actual insulation
length of the test units was a minimum of 31.69 (805mm).
Three assembled units were randomly selected and subjected to a Power Frequency Voltage Test
per Clause 7.1.2 of ANSI C29.11-1989 and Clause 5.1.2 of IEC 61109-1992. The results of this
testing are shown in Table 1 below.

2.2.4 Water Penetration Test

Samples 1, 2 and 3 from previous tests were immersed in boiling deionized water, containing 0.1 %
by weight of Sodium Chloride, for 42 hours per Clause 7.1.5 of ANSI C29.11-1989 and Clause
5.1.3.3 of IEC61109-1992. The samples were then retained in the water while the temperature was
lowered to 122 F. These samples were visually inspected and were found to have no signs of
damage. These units were subsequently used for the verification testing in Section 2.2.5.
Samples 1, 2 and 3 from the Water Penetration test were reexamined for any signs of damage
prior to proceeding with testing in Sections 2.2.5.2 and 2.2.5.3. No damage was observed.
The three test samples from the previous tests were fitted with a sharp edged electrode dividing
each sample into two equal length sections according to Clause 7.1.6.2 of ANSI C29.11-1989
and Clause 5.1.4.2 of IEC61109-1992. These samples were then subjected to an Impulse
Voltage having a rate of rise of at least 1000 kV/S for 25 positive and negative polarity
impulses. The results of this testing are shown in Table 5 below.

Ten specimens were cut from a randomly sampled production insulator and tested for dye
penetration according to Clause 7.4.1 of ANSI C29.11-1989 and Clause 5.4.1 of IEC 61109-1992.
These specimens, measuring 0.944 inches in diameter and 0.394 inches in length were placed
upright on a layer of steel balls and a 1% alcohol and fuchsin dye solution was poured into the glass
vessel until the dye level was 0.098 inches higher than the surface of the steel balls. The samples
remained in the glass vessel for a period of 15 minutes per the standard requirements with no signs
of penetration. The details of the samples and the test results are shown in Table 11 below.

Six specimens were cut from the same type of production insulator used in the dye penetration
testing and tested for water diffusion according to Clause 7.4.2.2 of ANSI C29.11-1989 and
Clause 5.4.2.2 of IEC 61109-1992. These specimens, measuring 0.944 inches in diameter and
1.181 inches in length, were boiled in a glass vessel containing deinonized water and 0.1 % by
weight of Sodium Chloride, for 100 hours. The specimens were removed from the boiling

The specimens from Section 2.5.2.1 above were removed from the deinoized water, dried with
filter paper and subjected to a voltage test according to Clause 7.4.2.3 of ANSI C29.11-1989
and Clause 5.4.2.3 of IEC 61109-1992 less than 3 hours after removal from the boiling water.
The results of this testing are shown in Table 12 below.

3.0 Design Tests
3.1 Test Unit
The test unit used for this Design Testing was the Composite Suspension insulator design shown in
Appendix A. The unit tested met the requirements of Clause 4.1 of ANSI C29.11-1989 thereby
permitting the use of the Prototype Test results detailed above for this unit.
3.2 Lightning Impulse Withstand Test
Three sample Composite Suspension Insulators were subjected to a Lightning Impulse Withstand Test
according to Clause 6.1 IEC 61109-1992. The results of this testing are shown in Table 14 below. As
the results show, the units withstood the minimum Critical-Impulse Flashover requirement from Table 2
of ANSI C29.13-2000.

4.0 Sample Tests
Nine samples were taken from the group of units and visually inspected to verify the quality and were
measured to verify the actual dimensions against the design dimensions according to Clause 9.2 of
ANSI C29.11-1989 and Clause 7.2 of IEC 61109-1992. The quality of the units observed during visual
inspection was good. The galvanizing on the end fittings was consistent and the injection molding was
good. The results of the dimensional verification are shown in Table 15 below.
